Abstract
Bell’s assessment of the experimental prospects was optimistic: five years would pass before anyone thought of an experiment to test his inequality. Even then it would not be easy to get it to work.
The [experiment] considered above has the advantage that it requires little imagination to envisage the measurements actually being made.
— John Bell, “On the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox,” 1964
The collaboration in designing the experiment was the high point of my intellectual life. It was also a great privilege to come to know John Bell, who was as admirable a man as I have ever met.

We had a great time.
